IMPROVEMENT m wAsH-BAsms.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 192,807, dated July 3, 1877; application filed J une 6, 1877.

sectionin the planet m, Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a hori-' zontal sect-ion in the plane 3 3 Fig. 1; Fig. 3,

an inverted plan, partly in section.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts. This invention relates to certain improve mentsin wash-basins; and consists in a novel.

combination of devices for simultaneously op erating the valves in the waste and supply pipes of the basin; and the invention also consists of a novel combination of parts for concealing and covering the wash-basin, all of which will befully hereinafter specifically described. 1

In the drawings, the letter A designates a wash basimwhich is set into a platform,,B, and which is supplied with water through a pipe, 0, and faucet D. Said basin is provided with usual overflowopenings E, and with the wasteopening F, which can be opened or closed by an ordinary plug or stopper, G. From the waste-opening F extends a pipe, H, to the sewer, and the overflow-openings communicate .by means of a pipe, I, with the waste-pipe H. In the supply-pipe O is placed a stop-cock, J, and in the waste-pipe H is secured at stop-cock, K, which is situated below the junction of said waste-pipe with the overflow-pipe, so that by closing this stop-cock the sewer-gases are prevented from rising up into the room. The stop-cocks J and K are connected to a vertical shaft, L, which is provided with a hand-wheel, M, so that by turning this hand-wheel both said stop-cocks can be opened or closed simultaneously.

' stop-cock K by bevel-wheels d c.

When the stop-cocks are closed no sewergases can pass up into the room, and when; the stop-cocks are opened and the water is permitted to flow into the basin (the wasteopening being closed by the plug G) the overflow-pipe is opened, and the basin cannot be overcharged.

The platform -B forms the top of a case, N, which is provided with doors 0, and from the sides of said platform rise cheek-pieces P, provided with grooves f, which form the guides for a sliding cover, Q, so that when the basin is not used all its connections and the basin itself can be readily concealed in a stand, which forms a handsome and ornamental piece of furniture in the room.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters'Patent, is-

1. In combination with the valves J and K in the supplyand waste pipes of a waslrbasin, the vertical shaft L, having at its lower end a bevel-wheel, d, meshing with a bevel-wheel, c, to operate the valve K, and with rods 0 and arms a b, for operating the valve J by a single movement of the vertical shaft, as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination, with a wash-basin, a suitable supportingcasing, N, and cheekpieces P, of a sliding cover, Q, adapted to be drawn out to cover and conceal the wash-basin, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 4th day of June, 1877.
